The BFRT is really pretty. (Unlike the MCRT through Weston and Wayland, which is marred by the power line.) I have an insane plan of one day taking the Downeaster to Exeter and riding the Rockingham and Salem rail trails 45 miles to Lawrence, then taking the commuter rail back.
And the Franconia Notch path is surprisingly hairy as bike paths go, but of course it's not actually a rail trail. Last summer I rode it from the Tramway to the Basin as part of a traverse hike over Cannon Mountain, up the Basin-Cascades (gorgeous!) and Hi-Cannon trails and down the Kinsman Ridge Trail.

BFRT is a good trail. I haven't been on it since it went over Rte. 2. Plenty of parking at the Lowell end.
